Advise Palestinians, polio, water, and more – Mazin Qumsiyeh

Please share and continue to act (which means continuing to stay human in
the age of genocide)

As we slide to fascism and massive lies and subjugation of people’s will
and not merely here in colonized Palestine but in many countries around the
world, we are reminded that “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It
never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly
submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong
which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are
resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are
prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”   Frederick Douglas

In 2016, I asked my readers “What would you advise Palestinian to do? I am
genuinely curious as to how many of my readers have constructive advice
based on what they know of geostrategic structures, capabilities etc.” I
received dozens of answers. As I reread them I see so much that were and
still are prophetic voices.

 Dan Lieberman took the time to do the most detailed response:

In the blog you can still add comments and I will read them. In reviewing
comments and our history (e.g.. see my book on Popular resistance in
Palestine: A history of hope and empowerment over 140 years here
http://qumsiyeh.org/popularresistanceinpalestine/), I saw that our people
have tried everything from educating the public to civil disobedience to
armed resistance. Most of the time these were done simultaneously but some
time more activities were in certain directions. For example the uprising
of 1987-1991 was mostly not armed and involved things like civil
disobedience and protests. In 200-2005, there was more armed resistance. In
Gaza in 2019-2021 massive nonviolent resistance by thousands of people at
the Gaza ghetto walls was suppressed by massive Israeli fire and the world
stood silent. The continuing colonial onslaught ensured a start of the
armed Gaza Ghetto uprising 7 October 2023 which was used as an excuse to
accelerate the genocide and ethnic cleansing. May it be the last uprising
and lead to ending the 76 year colonial nightmare!

This openly expressed view including from Israeli politicians and leaders
is emblematic of the planned war on the people of Gaza until they
disappear: https://youtu.be/4TC6EQK4Kik

Israel’s deliberate destruction of infrastructure for life is now well
documented war crime. Here is their own documentation of blowing up water
facilities https://x.com/ryangrim/status/1817015532916273435

The BBC showed using satellite images in May that more than half of water
facilities were deliberately destroyed in the Gaza Strip
